Bypass database logon

Hi--
I have a simple form that, when I invoke it from my browser, prompts me to logon to the database first. I have included the connect in my URL: Userid=scott/tiger@mydatabase as I have seen in documentation without success. Isn't there some way of avoiding the logon screen everytime I access this form?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Thanks for your response. I tried that without any success. After some additional research-- I am wondering if I have missed a patch. There is a documented but unpublished reference to a bug that causes this issue.

Infoview prompts for database logon screen when updating dynamic parameter

I have already set up initial database ID/PW for the report in CMS, but when I I tried to update my parameter to schedule the report, it is requiring the user to enter database ID/PW again........Is there a way to set this up so that the user can bypass this step since it is quite annoying?
Thanks.

Is your lov created Business View Manager? If it is, you can store the userid and password in the data connection your business view is based on.
1) Start Business View Manager. Close the default screen that appears.
2) Click View > Repository Explorer on the menu bar.
3) Expand the Dynamic Cascading Prompts folder. Locate the "Data Connection" for the appropriate dynamic parameter. It will be in the form of <parameter_name>_DC (i.e. it will have the name of the parameter and then '_DC').
4) Double-click the Data Connection. "Property Browser" will appear.
5) Type the database user name and password in that Property Browser.
6) Set the Runtime Prompt to Never Prompt.
7) Save the changes to the Data Connection.
The prompt for database logon information will no longer appear when changing parameter values.

Enable Database Logon Prompt problem

Post Author: saied
CA Forum: .NET
I have a report in which I pass the connection information to a connectionInfo object like
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();connectionInfo.UserID = "user";connectionInfo.Password = "password";connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "database";connectionInfo.ServerName = "server"; In the CrystalReportViewer smart tasks, I disable Database Logon Prompting, but when I do this, the Page Unload event is fired and the ReportDocument is set to null; therefore, throwing an object not set to an instance exception. I want to be able to bypass the Crystal Database Logon Prompt, but I can't figure out how to do it. If anyone knows what to do, please help. Thanks, SaiedH

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Edition and Crystal Reports 2008. This is one and only report so far. I am passing logon credentials from code. This report was working in crystal report but not working any more is either place crystal designer or .net.
I have to create subreport because i have one parent table and 2 diff child tables. one header table and 2 detail line tables. I was to see in report for each header tables multiple detail line items. If i join 3 tables then it multiplies no of line items and display wrong data. e.g. one BLheader (parent) table has 2 detail line items (1st child table) and 3 detailAccessories (2nd child table). I want to see 1 header, 2 detail lines, and 3 Accessories.
Please advice how should i display this in report. Thanks a lot.

How to pass database logon info to a Crystal Report in a subreport with different server name using VS C #

Post Author: fabu1971
CA Forum: .NET
I could pass the database logon in Reports with subreports but the reports with subreports with different server name I can not pass the logon information . Do you have any idea how I can do that to pass the database logon with different database or server name ?

You can use the Subreports collection of the ReportDocument object to access all the subreports in your main report. These are returned as ReportDocument objects. Once you have your subreport as a ReportDocument you can loop through your Tables collection and set the ConnectionProperties to your appropriate Server/Database. For example here is some pseudo code: ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();boConnectionInfo.ServerName = "serverName";boConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "databaseName";boConnectionInfo.UserID = "username";boConnectionInfo.Password = "yourpassword"; foreach(ReportDocument boSubreport in mainReport.Subreports){ foreach(Table boTable in boSubreport.Database.Tables) { TableLogOnInfo boTableLogOnInfo = boTable.LogOnInfo; boTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = boConnectionInfo; boTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(boTableLogOnInfo); boTable.Location = "newtablelocation"; }}

Database Logon Failed after first report

I have a Windows Server 2003 x86 server running IIS6 and ASP.NET. On this server, I have two different web forms set up to export Crystal Reports to PDF.
My problem is that only one of these reports can run. For example, I open report 1 and can then reopen (generate PDF of) report1 as many times as I want. I cannot open report 2 - I get a "Database Logon Failed" error message. If I restart the server, I can generate a PDF of report 2 successfully and as many times as I want but report 1 will get a "Database Logon Failed" error message.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? My code is very concise and manually closes the report document (and forces the garbage collection to run) once the PDF has been generated. However, for some reason, the report is staying in memory and is trying to run again even though it has been closed. It is driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Let's get the server confusion out of the way.
A "server" runtime install is an msi file called CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi.
The msi is in a download called Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - FP x.x .NET Server Install (where x.x refers to SP or FP version (e.g.; Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - FP 5.6 .NET Server Install)
So, this gives you an easy way of installing the CR runtime on a server (e.g.. Win 2003 server). No CR server (RAS) implication here. To install the runtime, all you have to do is run the msi, provide the keycode when prompted and the runtime is installed. You should see the directory C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bin created. No pretty interface, etc. If you want a pretty interface, you create your own setup project or msi using the CR msm files.
Hopefully this clears up the "server" confusion.
To the actual issue on hand.
You say this works with older "Crystal Reports viewers" installed on a WIN 2003 64 bit server. My question is; does this CR XI r2 based app work anywhere? Your dev box? Staging server?

Bypassing the logon page

Hi,I have been using the openDocument function as detailed in the topic <a href="/node/1780">Opening a report in a new window on the web</a> to display a crystal report. Unless I happened to have already logged into InfoView I am first taken to the InfoView logon on page before the report can be displayed.Can the user name, password and any other parameters required for logon be passed in the link URL so as to log in automatically and bypass the log on page?Thanks 

hello,you can log into a report with url syntax that isn't opendocument and then once you're in the report all of your links remain opendocument links.for the initial url to bypass the logon, find your Report_Viewers.chm help file and in the Index, look up URL Commands, then choose Crystal Reports. use this url building method to build a hyperlink that logs you on to your main report. then distribute this hyperlink as your login method.jw

Crystal Report Error Failed to load Database logon Information

Hi Experts,
We developed a Crystal reports fetching data from a BI Query. When we run the report from Crystal Report Desginer it runs perfectly.
When I schedule the report in the CMC / Infoview, I am getting a error message saying:
"<REPORT NAME> Failed to load database logon Information."
We have checked the database configuration in CMC for this report. BI system hostname and the other necessary credentials are fine.
Please suggest us on how we go about understanding the cause of the error.

Xcelsius - Database logon failed. (LO 26603)

Hi Expert,
I have a error when run .swf file.
The first, I create new query from SAP toolbar integration in Crystal Report 2008. The Crystal Query is called from a BW Query . The query have not variables, the data get directly from BW Query.
I saved Crystal Report file into BOE (File -->Save -->Enterprise, not save on BW).
In Infoview, I setup schedule for this .rpt file with information database logon below (default as inform in Set Database Location of Crystal Report):
- Database server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (BW server)
- User name: User in BW
- Password: Password in BW
In Xcelsius, I use Live Office to get data from crystal on BOE to Excel sheet on Xcelsius.
In data-->Connection, I changed <server:8080> by <IP BOE System:8080>.
When I preview or export to swf file, a message box appear require input user name and password of BW server (Database logon). After I input correct password, a message box User Identification appear, I input System, User name, Password on BOE server and chose Authentication Enterprise. And final, I get error message " Database logon failed. (LO 26603)".
I try opening Crystal Report file on Infoview and Refresh data, I also input database logon by BW User, the data refresh correctly.
Why do crystal report file update data from BW correct, while .swf file is not and return error Database Logon failed.
Please explain for me what step I missed to get data through Live Office.
Thanks

Hi Priya,
Thanks for your support.
I have set the default credentials in database configuration.
But my dashboard still can't work. When I preview dashboard, A prompt for database logon information appear, I can logon sucess and refresh data. But after I logon username and password on BOE for BOE User Identification with Authentication Enterprise, I still get error " Database logon failed".
Who can explain for me what steps I miss.
Thanks

The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or inco

getting below error while opening a report from infoview
The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
Unable to retrieve Object.
The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
They can open the same report from crystal designer.We have checked the database and it is pointing to correct one in process->database of CMC.
They have created the report with windows NT credentials.
Can any one help in this regard.
Thanks,
Gokul.

How did you set up NT auth on the report? With CR Designer I'd assume you are using a trusted connection? Which option did you choose in the CMC for DB credentials? Prompt, same login, or SSO (I don't have the CMC screen in front of me right now so I'm abbreviating the options)?
Regards,
Tim

Prompting for the database logon while opening the report in CMC

I created a report and saved in the Crystal server 2008 repository. I set the default Database configuration as
report > Schedule > Database Logon > set password
or tick "Use same database logon as when report is run" in Default Settings > Database Configuration.
But when I am click on View for the report still it is promting for the database loging name and password.
is there any other settings required for this.
Thanks

Database Logon Failed which created by Crystal Report 2008

this time i meet the famous error again which is database logon failed.
i created a crystal report 2008 starting from blank report, then connect with odbc
i use 2008 method
objRpt.SetDatabaseLogon(db_username, db_password, odbc_name, database_name);
2008 method will get database logon failed even set database location and verify database again
then i use 8.5 method and try again for 2008 report. it said field name is unknown for one of formula
then i drag field again for formula and set database location and verify database again
it said the same error.
then i uninstall 8.5 crytal report software in window 7 deployment machine, and do above again, it said the same error

How to avoid database logon dialog on every action of refreshing reports

I am using Crystal reports 208 SP2 and has a database connection to oracle database. Connection is esablished and report retrieves desired data, The problem is when ever i open this report ( which has this connection set) and do a refresh, the report the LogOn dialog pops up.
How to avoid or save this log on info such that it does not pops up the LogOn dialog when i open the report and do a refresh(F5).?

Hi Don,
Thanks for the reply. To try your suggested approach, i need some clarifications .
_Problem summary:for refrence, _
I am following the steps mentioned below to establish a database connection, and fetch the data.
1) I am using Oracle drivers for configuring the ODBC data source. As part of configuration i will specify the Oracle server name
2) In crystal reports, Using "Database" menu, i open "Database Expert" dialog and "Make New connection" by specifing the data source mentioned in step 1). During this process, (ODBC)logon information will be filled in. The user ID and password used has all the rights to access the tables in the database. Logon will be successful and connection is established.
3) Further i use the database table from the "Database Expert" on to the report and refresh(F5) to fetch the data.
After step 3, I close the report and reopen it. Now trying to refresh the database logon dialog pops up. I need to avoid this pop up
Requesting Clarification:;
1) You have specified "When you connect you have the option to use Trusted Authentication, check this option on". Where is this option. Is it in the crystal reports or is it available during data source configuration. Kindly specify.
2) Here "Enterprise logon info that has been configured on the Oracle server." implies the oracle database login information right? If yes, this login details are available and i am using this logon information(i.e. UseriD and Password) during database connection.
If No, Is "Enterprise logon info " is something which should be specifically enabled by DBA in oracle11g configuraion.
Kindly suggest.

Database logon failed when opening report with parameter values in CrystalReportViewer

Hi,
I designed 2 crystal reports: report A contains parameter fields and report B did not contain any parameter
I can open both reports in development site using CrystalReportViewer control. When I open the reports in testing site,
I can open report B but can't open report A. It display error message "Database logon failed". When I set EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt
to true and try to open the report A again, it shows database connection data which was created on report.
In addition, it is strange that it displays error "Database logon failed" when I click an item in group tree panel of the report B. This indicates that it can load data from database
in testing site but it connect to development database when clicking items in group tree panel
All reports connect to database using Windows Authenication. It use dynamic database connection at runtime
How to ensure the report always connect database using login data dynamically at runtime?
Below is my code about database connection:
string strServerName = null;
string strDatabaseName = null;
ReportDocument rptDoc = new ReportDocument();
rptDoc.Load(strFilePath);
ConnectionInfo connInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
TableLogOnInfo logonInfo;
for (int i = 0; i < rptDoc.Database.Tables.Count; i++)
logonInfo = rptDoc.Database.Tables[i].LogOnInfo;
ReportHelper.GetReportConnection(ref strServerName, ref strDatabaseName, strSystemType);
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = strServerName;
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = strDatabaseName;
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = true;
rptDoc.Database.Tables[i].ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo);
rptDoc.Database.Tables[i].Location = rptDoc.Database.Tables[i].Location.Substring(0, rptDoc.Database.Tables[i].Location.Length - 2);
crvViewer.ReportSource = rptDoc;
crvViewer.DataBind();
Development environment:
- SAP Crystal Reports 2013 Support Pack 1
- Visual Studio Professional 2012
- .NET Framework 3.5
- DDL
CrystalDecisions.Shared (v 13.0.8.1216)
CrystalDecisions.Web (v 13.0.8.1216)
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v 13.0.8.1216)
Database connection in crystal report:
- Database Type: OLEDB (ADO)
- Provider: SQLOLEDB
- Integrated Security: True
Thanks and Regards,
Tony

Hi Tonylck
Try to pass login info to crystal report dynamically as follows:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
namespace WindowsApplication1
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
TableLogOnInfos crtableLogoninfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
Tables CrTables ;
cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt");
crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "YOUR SERVER NAME";
crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "YOUR DATABASE NAME";
crConnectionInfo.UserID = "YOUR DATABASE USERNAME";
crConnectionInfo.Password = "YOUR DATABASE PASSWORD";
CrTables = cryRpt.Database.Tables ;
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table CrTable in CrTables)
crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo;
crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cryRpt;
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat
